Description

    PRIORITY CLAIM
  • The present application is a National Phase entry of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2010/076540, filed Sep. 1, 2010, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to the preparation of a new-type papermaking wet-end defoamer. Defoamers are fine chemical additives, so accurately speaking, the preparation of a new-type papermaking wet-end defoamer relates to the field of the chemical preparations exclusively for papermaking.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Papermaking is a key industry of national economy. In the papermaking industry, a number of surfactants are often used. For example, various kinds of surfactants, such as sizing agent, retention aid, filter aid, reinforcing agent, deinking agent and dyes, may be used in papermaking wet-end according to different paper. They are prone to generating bubbles during the operation of paper machines. With the development of large-scale industry, the speed of paper machines is increasing. The speed of high-speed paper machines used in the current production has reached 1800 m/min. Generally, the papermaking white water in papermaking wet-end is used in a closed and circulated manner. In this process, if bubbles are not removed in time, “pits” will be formed on cardboards, affecting the evenness and tensile property of the paper.
  • According to the introduction of voluminous researches and references, papermaking wet-end bubbles exist mainly in three forms: the bubbles dispersed in white water; the tiny bubbles adsorbed on fiber surface; and the bubbles floating on the surface of white water. The major role of a papermaking wet-end defoamer is to peel off the bubbles adsorbed on the fine fiber at first. Then the tiny bubbles will merge into large bubbles. As the large bubbles have low density, they may easily float on water surface. Therefore, papermaking wet-end defoamer mainly has the effects of degassing and defoaming, and the former effect is more outstanding.
  • Many companies and research institutes at home and abroad go in for the research of papermaking wet-end defoamers, particularly in foreign countries. The defoamers mainly include bulk-type defoamers and emulsion-type defoamers. The emulsion type refers to fatty alcohol emulsion, and the bulk type refers to modified polyether.
  • Many bulk-type papermaking wet-end defoamers (water content is below 5%) are also introduced in patent documentations. For example, the papermaking wet-end defoamer introduced by in U.S. Pat. No. 5,320,777 to Nguyen et al. is mainly composed of the fatty alcohol with a β-ether bond structure, the fatty alcohol polyether with a high molecular weight and the block polyether with a low molecular weight; in U.S. Pat. No. 5,229,033 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,460,698, they also introduce a bulk-type defoamer comprising oleic diethanolamide and fatty alcohol (fatty acid) polyether; in U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,718 to Morlino introduces the defoaming performance of polyglyceryl fatty acid ester and particularly emphasizes the preferred conversion rate of esterification is 15˜85% and the preferred polymerization degree of polyglycerol is 3˜6. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,562,862 to Berzansky introduces a defoamer containing such components as fatty alcohol polyether, phthalate and polyisobutylene, wherein phthalate is a stabilizer and the main defoaming substance is fatty alcohol polyether; in U.S. Pat. No. 6,562,875 to Corbel introduces an aqueous defoamer for papermaking, which mainly contains fatty alcohol polyether and emulsifier; the two bulk-type papermaking defoamers introduced in Chinese Patent No. CN101130939 and Chinese Patent No. CN101158131 mainly contain fatty alcohol, fatty alcohol polyether and the polyether modified with ordinary groups. In brief, the bulk-type defoamers mainly contain fatty alcohol polyether. The defoamers mainly containing fatty alcohol polyether are sensitive to temperature and may generate defoaming effect only above cloud temperature. Mo reover, fatty alcohol is expensive and its ratio of performance to price is not high, so it also holds back the popularization of defoamers.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is directed to a new-type wet-end defoamer in order to solve the problem of harmful foam during paper making production. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a defoamer comprising fatty acid methyl ester (“FAME”) and other ingredients.
  • FAME is the key component of biodiesel and made from renewable resources (such as rape seed oil, soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower seed oil, palm oil, coconut oil, recycled cooking oil and animal oil) through ester exchange reaction. It is a single substance or a mixture. The biodiesel prepared from FAME does not contain sulfur and arene and its cetane number is as high as 52.9. It is bio-degradable, nontoxic and harmless to environment. Compare d with ordinary diesel, it reduces air toxicity by 90% and cancer rate by 94% and is very safe during storage, use and transport due to its high open flash point.
  • FAME polyester, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is synthesized under the action of catalyst and by using FAME as the initiator, and through compounding with other components to generate a synergistic effect, solves the problem that presently available defoamers have poor defoaming and degassing performance at high temperature but provides a defoamer in which the used raw materials are renewable resources, cheap and environment friendly.

  • Method for Preparing the Defoamer
  • A new-type papermaking wet-end defoamer, according to an embodiment of the present invention is prepared by a method comprising at least mixing of FAME derivatives and polyether, mixing modified polyether into the derivative and polyether mixture, and adding natural oil to the mixture.
  • Method for Testing the Performance of the Defoamer
  • The performance of the defoamer can be determined by the circulating bubbling method. The equipment used is a portable circulating bubbling device. The instrument comprises a measuring cylinder, a circulating pump, a flow meter, a spray nozzle, automatic temperature control heater and other components and is same as the instrument introduced in the invention patent ZL 200410014870.0.
  • Defoamer performance testing method: firstly, put the prepared white water foam liquid into the circulating bubbling device, then turn on the temperature control switch, heat the foam liquid to the test temperature, switch on the air pump and stopwatch and record the time when the foam ascends to a specific height, and then add certain amount of the defoamer and record the change rule of foam height with time. In the beginning, the lower the foam falls, the faster the instantaneous defoaming speed of the defoamer will be. Later, the longer the time for reaching a same foam height is, the better the defoaming performance of the defoamer will be.
